If you live in the Eastern area of the KC metro I guess you are lucky if you have power.
That was one hell of a storm that came through about 1:30 or so this morning. I thought the front windows were going to be break a few times.
Tree limbs, trash dumpsters and trampolines scattered all through our neighborhood.
Got up and drove 15 miles to the office to see if there was power and when I pulled in the parking lot luckily we do have power. Unlucky part was I reached over to grab my cell phone out of the console and it wasn't there. So, a go to drive the 15 miles back home to get my phone and as I am backing out the parking lot it dawns on me that I used my phone for light to walk through the dark garage this morning and to see the garage door release.....now instead of driving back home to get my phone....I am driving to hopefully find my phone laying somewhere on the road in the neighborhood still.
At the first stop light I thought just for the hell of it I should look on the rear bumper.....and, after about 17 miles of travel....there it was laying on the top of the tailgate. :wow: :wow:
Lucky I am this morning.
Hope you are not one of the 130,000 some people without power and, if you are, keep track of your damn phone.

We have our own problems here on the east-side. Saw several people building arcs in their driveways...

Yeah, I live less than 10 miles from there, not quite as far up 79 (and a little west). I feel bad for those folks. I hope those businesses were properly insured...
I've not heard anything about the bottoms around Foley and/or Elsberry. Curious if our blind is under or still dry...

Got word from the Wingman this morning--
he said they were doing water rescues last night up at the metal works to get the 2nd shift out
at the farm
it will be touch and go if the water will get into the cabin we just built on to--
The fella that runs the pumping station at the end of King's Creek says it will be iffy-- hopefully the water won't come over the Hwy M bridge-- if that happens then we will be tearing out the interior and starting from scratch redoing the shell--
hell, if it does that, we will probably never see the cabin again 
It was too late to get the bikes out from our storage area and I'm sure they are going to need a complete tear down--
I see a big argument coming between the Wingman and the other guy that owns the place. Other guy said we didn't need a secure storage container after buying the last 15 acres.....
of course he took his bike home after season and the Wingman owns the tractor, the Plot Master and all the equipment we use to plant crops,cut wood and maintain the place. I guess we lucked out when he took the tractor to work at another place last week or we might really have some work to do.... or have a major 'discussion' between partners 
The floating blind is surely off the verticals and hopefully the tie down rope has kept it from trying to make a break for freedom down King's Creek like last year.Of course if it pulls one of the willow trees out from the pool----bye bye until it anchors again--
anyway we look at it-- it will have a ton of mud in it
Since Hwy 79 is shut down and I haven't heard if they opened Hwy 61 to traffic,it might be a day or more before we can get up there.
That is all I know...and it is semi second hand

I reckon I did
But there are some folks around that are planting beans by airplane,,it's called broadcasting,,we did a lot of that in 93...We used a floater truck to spread em just like fertilizer. I think mainly it's an insurance game, but it works ,,,sort of.
Just so yer old azz knows
out here in the sticks,,,,flying it on simply put means applying by airplane.
A lot of folks don't put all of their nitrogen on corn ground before they plant,,,they come back with some after it gets to growing and give it another shot,,,usually in a liquid form 32% or anhydrous,,between the rows,,that's called side dressing,,,,but it's too danged wet...So to get the corn the rest of the nitrogen it needs,,,they are appling dry fertilizer (in this case urea) by airplane...
Last resort kinda gig .....
Prolly makes more sense that way.

There were 5 planes running out of the Moberly airport last week, Redleg. All doing fertilizer.

Ain't bullchiting this time 
Played the ag game fer 18 years and I never seen em fly beans on til now....Must be an insurance game
I know broadcasting will work to a point,,,,but with all the moisture,,,I'd wait,,when you can get em planted in the next week or 2 they'd jump rite out of the ground.
Heck half the beans they are throwing out of the planes will land in water and perish it has to be an insurance gig

We checked into flying them on red, insurance is no good if they aren't covered up. If they're not covered, they're not covered, so to speak. Probably more of a disaster gig with USDA.
We're hoping to plant on Monday...we only got 4.1" of rain this last round. There's still a little time left...I hope.

Our corn is kaput but we got a ton of volunteer millet
I doubt we will try and replant anything even if 100 days puts us into October which is not that bad a dealio
Good news is the cabin is still dry and one of the guys did an Eskimo Joe in a kayak to the swamp blind and it is floating just fine and still anchored to the willow trees
He said our regular knee deep pool is over 10 feet deep now
That rick of firewood we had is now somewhere between the cabin and parts unknown.
Guy that runs the Kings Lake pumping station says if we don't get any more rain,that everything will be back to pre flood in 20 days--
he is running the pumps full bore and has only been able to drop the level by 2 inches across the Kings Creek flood plain. Lucky the Mississippi levee held.
Water on M east of Old 79 is up to the bar ditches but not over the road-- fields flooded
According to the Wingman, BK Leach has NO corn or crops that he was able to see and they are relatively high and dry for the most part.....
so it may be a few flight days slaughter and then a fly over the rest of the season.
If that is the case then I may make Bosque del Apache for some photography this year after all.
That's all she wrote from the farm,she wrote no more.

Misipi rive overflowed the levee at Columbia bottoms earlier this week. Bad news is water back flowed into the field where my pisshole is. Good news is, only minor damage to the corn as the water is receeding. Crops on the conservation area are prolly a complete loss. I'm already used to fly overs.
